### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Urea in the Body:** - Urea is a waste product formed from the breakdown of proteins. It is primarily excreted through urine. 2. **Location of Urea Reabsorption:** - Urea reabsorption occurs in different parts of the nephron, which is the functional unit of the kidney. ...
